Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold's profile continues to grow globally.

Having offered an extensive interview with Sweden's Sportbladet this week, the young fullback won praise in Russia last night.

After his superb goalscoring performance in victory at Leciester City, Alexander-Arnold was declared "the best right-back in the world" by former Lokomotiv Moscow president Ilya Gerkus.

Gerkus took to social media to declare: “Trent is on fire. The best right-back in the world right now."

The 4-0 win has Liverpool 13 points clear at the top of the table.
